Bought the Drive 4G-S to install on a center console fishing boat used offshore where signal strength is weak. Purchased a Digital Antenna wideband marine "bullet" antenna, Digital coax, and mini-UHF/N-type adapter to install on boat in lieu of the Weboost antenna. I changed the signal strength indication on my iPhone to dbm. I haven't yet had it to the outer limit of range but I see an increase of roughly 13-18 dbm when the phone is in the cradle compared to out of the cradle. Not sure what that translates to in bars of service, if anything, but its a noticeable gain. So far the cradle booster works as advertised.

Hello and I'm sorry to hear that your phone is too wide for the cradle arms of the Drive 4G-S. While it's not a perfect solution, you can slide the arms up and out of the device, and then use a rubber band or something similar to ensure that the back of the cradle is tight against the back of the phone, so you're still able to get the boosting power of the device. Otherwise, feel free to contact us to start a return.

I switched my iPhone’s signal meter to read in decibels instead of bars. My experience has been 10-15 Db improvement (testing in car at same location in cradle vs out of cradle). I now have excellent call connection in 98% of previous dead-spots. Nice add-on features would be a 6” power cord to leverage the USB connector built into the cradle; a decent handsfree connection option; a second cradle for second car; a long extension antenna cable for moving temporarily to office at remote cabin-in-the-woods location.

This discontinued unit works great and increases my signal strength by two bars. I purchased from Uber because of the excellent cell phone booster articles. *This review is from the previous version of this product.

Your service was great, I had a unit that didn't seem to work and you got me a different one. Unfortunately the new one does absolutely nothing either, does not seem to improve signal at all. I will try sometime when I have real poor signal (areas I know are bad) and give it a try then. Sorry, not sure it does anything. *This review is from the previous version of this product.

I use Skype to make international phone calls. The calls used to be extremely annoying because of either dropouts ("Please repeat what use said?") or the call dropped. *This review is from the previous version of this product. Now my calls have MUCH fewer dropouts and it is rare for the call to be disconnected. Installation was easy. If you have a station wagon like I do, I do recommend purchasing an extra 5' of coax. The cradle is both heavy and hot. The metal screws on the back are uncomfortably HOT. In terms of heavy, it's almost too heavy for cigarette-holder-type mounts to support. If you travel over rough roads then the phone/cradle/plug will disconnect from cigarette lighter power. You will need to use your phone by Bluetooth, ear buds, or speaker phone as you are advised NOT to place the phone and cradle near your ear ... probably because of the intense radiation. The phone has to be in the cradle for the signal booster to work. Installation is easy. Place the magnetic base of the antenna outside your car. Route the cable through a door or window. Connect cable to cradle, connect power to cradle. You're done. The cradle (on this model) is not large enough to hold my Samsung Note 2 with protector. I have to use a rubber band to hold the phone in the cradle.
